THE SLIDING DOOR THAT NEEDS NO ALIBIS WW
AMERICA'S NEWEST, FINEST
NATIONAL SLI-D-O-O-RS offer positive extra values,
well worth your while to investigate and to compare . . .
advantages such as superior performance, quality construction,
easy installation, life-time durability, economy . . .
. . . and, above all, a handsome, sliding door that will not
warp!
Exhaustive factory testing and an infinite number of com-
pletely satisfactory installations from coast to coast, have
proved that NATIONAL SLI-D-O-O-Rs are trouble free.
They are solid throughout and slide smoothly, without binding,
on a skillfully engineered, overhead track.
They are delivered as a complete, pre-cut, packaged unit, with
attached precision, overhead rolling hardware for easy installa-
tion. Made of %" NOVOPLY, they take paint or stain with
excellent results.
No wonder SLI-D-O-O-Rs are found in more and more new
homes today — and in older homes that are being modernized!
They are as ultra-smart and modern as a late-model car . . ,
and they go a long way in saving space.
By eliminating the swing-area that hinge-type doors require,
SLI-D-O-O-Rs make every inch of floor and wall space usable
. . . permit greater flexibility of furniture arrangement . . ,
provide more room in narrow halls where swing-type closet
doors would clutter the passage and might present an accident
hazard.
SLI-D-O-O-Rs are recognized by home-owners, home-builders
and architects throughout the country as the sliding doors
which present a definite advancement in closet-door per-
formance.
